Several of the boards on this forum are for role playing. In general, our story here is that we're all students or professors at Hogwarts; you can look at The Classes, the house commons, and The Grounds to see what we're playing at.
My character is a 414-year-old sylph named Nialle (or sometimes Elaine, depending on my gender) Sylvan who lives in the Forbidden Forest and attends classes at Hogwarts. I'm writing the back story for my character in "Weather" in Flourish & Blotts.
Everyone who wants to join the RP here is encouraged to come up with a bit of character story like that. You don't have to get quite so elaborate or weird
but we enjoy creativity.
As far as technical things: if you see someone posting "ooc" that means they're speaking that bit as themselves rather than as their character (it stands for "out of character"), and "bic" means "back in character. Stuff in italics or between *asterisks* are actions/narration -- as in *gets a quill and an ink bottle.* Beyond that, everyone seems to have a style of posting rp, and you may have to ask them to explain things if they're not being clear
Questions? Answers? Fire away. *s/he says, carefully not looking like s/he bites*
